Forward Hanging Locker - Shelving & Hull Insulation

[Steve Papaccio]

On my off-season project list is building shelves for the forward hanging locker, similar to what Dan outlined here: http://dan.pfeiffer.net/10m/forward-hanging_locker_shelves.pdf

I'm curious to learn:

1) if anyone else has done something like this and has tips/ideas for working with this space.

2) Dan (or others) - what did you use for insulation? What would you recommend?

I use this locker for storing sleeping bags, blankets, and other assorted "comfort" items on the boat, so am interested in reducing condensation as much as practical. I'm just starting research on insulation options but thought I'd start with the expertise on this forum.

I saw some discussion of insulation on the recent "diesel heater" thread - Dan referenced the 1/2" foam board he used in his vberth and Guy noted using 1/2" closed cell polyethylene. Any additional thoughts on these approaches? I'd think the foam board would be tough in the locker given the curvature of the hull there.

Apologies if this topic has already been covered elsewhere. Had a quick look through the archives and didn't see much on first pass.

Thanks!

I like the durability of the PE closed cell foam and it's flexibility too. In the V berth I replaced the original oak veneer with PE foam covered with Naugahyde. It looks good and is easy to clean. So far I've only covered the Port side and the Starboard side is bare PE foam for the last year. It looks good too. I expect to Naugahyde it this coming spring. 

The is a thin Styrofoam insulation that is about 1/4" thick. I think it's flexible enough to conform to the curves in the hanging locker. You could use two layers. You could glue a covering material to it.

I can’t help on the shelving project, I kept mine hanging after installing the AC duct to the v berth. 

But for insulation, whatever you use, make sure you don’t leave any space behind the insulation. Moisture will get trapped and cause mold

Excellent. Thanks, Guy, very helpful. The PE foam sheets from foam factory look promising for this.

Guy,

What glue did you use to attach it to the hull and naughahyde?

Thanks.  I wasnt sure stuff like that would work on polyethylene foam.
